Landslides

"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.

"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

According to Takayama-shi, at around 3 pm on Tuesday, the slope surface of Takane-shi Takane-machi Ikekei-dong collapsed for about 20 meters in width and about 30 meters in height, soil and sand covered the road. Nobody was injured.

"It's like living next to a time bomb. You don't know when it's gonna go off," said homeowner Joe Gollick.

Gollick's home is just steps from the slide along Lander Street. He said the street has been cracking for years, and city crews have been there and repaved it, but Gollick says, a significant portion of the road fell when the Greenleaf Street landslide happened in February.

"If it gets worse, we're in trouble," said Gollick.

Gollick said the trees that were once level with Lander Street are now sliding down the hillside, and he hasn't been able to access his garage for weeks because of how much of the road has fallen and Gollick said the power company even moved transformers from the utility poles in front of his home, for fear they too could fall down the hill.
